About Foxcroft

The Canadian Mental Health Association Shuswap/Revelstoke Branch (CMHA) approached the Province in December 2007 about a partially completed development at 761 2nd Street, S.E. in Salmon Arm. The Province purchased the development property with two buildings for $5,549,360 to meet the need for affordable accommodation in the community. 

Foxcroft has 11 two-bedroom units, each about 800 square feet. The building has 16 designated parking stalls including five for visitors. The units at Foxcroft will be offered for sale to buyers who meet the eligibility criteria. CMHA, on behalf of the Province, will administer the home ownership program and waiting list.

The other building, Foxridge, has 4  studio and 24 one-bedroom units and has been  occupied since May 2009. CMHA will operate this building under an operator agreement with the Province to provide subsidized rental housing for low income adults at risk of homelessness. 

Foxcroft forms 11 units in a development of 39 strata titled units. The owners of the strata units will make up the members of a strata corporation and are responsible for managing and maintaining the common property and common assets of the development for the benefit of all the owners. The strata corporation has been divided into two sections, each section will operate independently of the other and elect executives to administer their building’s regulations and operating budget.

The CMHA Shuswap/Revelstoke is one of 23 chapters in British Columbia belonging to the national organization. CMHA’s primary goal is to develop support systems for individuals with mental illnesses, including life skills and pre-vocational training, socialization, job placement, counselling referrals, housing aid, community awareness and education. The society promotes the mental health and supports the resiliency and recovery of people experiencing mental illness.
